Working through lunch? Try feeding your brain. Introducing #wpnewsquiz, a bite-size roundup of the week’s most talked-about (read: Facebook-and-Twitter-friendly) news stories. It’s simple: Take a look at the five questions below and find answers after the jump:

• Question 1: How many reactors are at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan? (+ 10 points)

• Question 5: How many Secret Service agents come along with President Obama and the first lady when they dine out? (+ 5 points)

• Answer 1: There are six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant. As recently as Thursday, helicopters and high-pressure hoses were hurling about 65 tons of water at the spent fuel pool of the unit 3 reactor.

• Answer 3: Diet Coke knocked Pepsi out of the second-place spot. In the minds (and bellies) of Americans, Coca-Cola products are now both winner and runner-up — regular Coke is the long-running undisputed champion.

• Answer 4: NFL owners have decided they can’t live on $9.3 billion. A question from columnist Sally Jenkins: Do owners have a right to cancel next season, padlocking stadiums that taxpayers helped pay for?

• Answer 5: When the first couple goes out on the town, a fleet of 20 to 30 Secret Service agents come along for the ride. For local restaurateurs, the situation doesn’t sound like quite the logistical nightmare you’d expect. “It was very easy. They were very kind and thorough and walked the restaurant with me without anyone really knowing,” the Source general manager Rikka Johnson explains.

So, how’d you do?
